Transcriptomic Studies on Intracranial Aneurysms.

ABSTRACT: Intracranial aneurysm (IA) is a relatively common vascular malformation of an intracranial artery. In most cases, its presence is asymptomatic, but IA rupture causing subarachnoid hemorrhage is a life-threating condition with very high mortality and disability rates. Despite intensive studies, molecular mechanisms underlying the pathophysiology of IA formation, growth, and rupture remain poorly understood. There are no specific biomarkers of IA presence or rupture. Analysis of expression of mRNA and other RNA types offers a deeper insight into IA pathobiology. Here, we present results of published human studies on IA-focused transcriptomics.
